Slash - Good To Be Alive lyrics

rate me

You told me you're an orphan, the same old standard line<br />

Then we moved in together, all you did was moan and cry<br />

Talkin' like you'd make it on life's big movie screen<br />

I had to say I loved you just to try and keep the peace<br />

<br />

Hustler, what are you doin' with your time?<br />

I'm slow to catch on but I think you wasted mine<br />

You're running low tonight, jack up and get it right<br />

You know you're going down, ain't it good to be alive?<br />

<br />

I couldn't make excuses about everything you said<br />

You wanna show your bruises, let's throw a party for the band<br />

Now here they come a dancin' like the powder to your nose<br />

Why don't you cut your head off, spite your face, let's do the show?<br />

<br />

Hustler, what are you doin' with your time?<br />

I'm slow, catch it on but I think you wasted mine<br />

Hustler, you're running low tonight, the station's right close by<br />

Pack up your car and drive, ain't it good to be alive?<br />

<br />

Tearing at the membrane of the first new thing in years<br />

Found a nagging consolation in a glass of Everclear<br />

And the ugly truth has raped you, they yell, “You lousy lay”<br />

But isn't everything that way, hey<br />

<br />

Ain't it good to be alive?<br />

So good to be alive
